These cupcakes are pretty large — probably shareable if you’re the sharing type — and topped with a creamy, light frosting. Not quite whipped cream frosting — there’s definitely some heft — but close.

Once we went in for our cross-section shot, I was pleased to see the center of the cupcake stuffed with peanut butter filling. And, as expected from a Contempo Cafe cupcake, this wasn’t just more of that light frosting. This was real-life peanut butter filling — more like what you’d expect in a peanut butter cup.

You can see the texture of the filling here — pretty awesome! And not to sweet, either, leaving that salty-sweet taste of peanut butter as a nice complement to the sweet chocolate cake.

I’m so glad you did a review of this! I saw these the last time we visited the resort and wanted one so badly, but I’m not a fan of shelling out $5 for one cupcake. The next time we go, we will have snack credits, so I’m confident that I’ll get one then! Thanks, AJ!

Also, I absolutely love this blog! Best Disney food blog I’ve come across so far.
